Approach/departure angle
Front approach/departure angle
:is a
maximum of 22.5° and rear approach/
departure angle ;is a maximum of 24.3 °.
For further information about approach/
departure angles, see ( Ypage 173). Maximum gradient-climbing
capability
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
The maximum gradient climbing capability is
70%.
i If the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
4ETS recognizes this and brakes the
wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque
is increased, making it easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see (Y page 173).Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the engine cooling system and
drive train may be necessary, depending on
the vehicle type. Anchorage points for the trailer tow hitch
